Question

Candle store sell 20 candles for a total of 356 dollars. Small candles are $11 and large candles are $28 . How many large candles did they sell?

Answer 1

8 large candles.

Explanation:

So imagine they sold x small candles, then they sold 20-x large candles.

We can list out an equation:

11x+28×(20-x)=356

11x+560-28x=356

-17x=-204

x=12

Large candles:20-12=8

Have a nice day! :)
